RE:High Volume for a ReasonEnoughBull wrote: Meadowbank Strategic Partners Inc. ("Meadowbank") is the corporate consultancy of Nick Kuzyk, MBA. Originally founded in 2006 and re-launched with a IR focus in 2020, Meadowbank exists to help senior executives and company boards tackle the important work not getting done in certain key areas, due to a lack of time, energy and/or human capital. The firm also offers the C-Suite the option of having work on confidential opportunities done discretely by a third party.
Upon earning an HBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the UWO in 2002, Nick moved to Calgary to become a Business Analyst with Basek Holdings Inc., a private investment company. With Basek, Mr. Kuzyk worked with start-up entities to analyze and refine business plans, help raise capital, and also screen investment opportunities.
In 2004, Nick worked at Overlord Financial Inc. (which became Aston Hill Financial), a firm founded by income trust inventor Marcel Tremblay. There, Mr. Kuzyk assisted the firm and its subsidiaries with financial modeling, equity analysis and investor relations. From 2006-2007, Mr. Kuzyk operated his own consultancy, Meadowbank Strategic Partners Inc., which served the clients named herein, among others.
In 2008, Mr. Kuzyk earned his MBA (Ivey) and graduated on the Dean’s List. During the program, Mr. Kuzyk co-organized a class trip to spend a day with Warren Buffett in Omaha, NB. Afterwards, Mr. Kuzyk accepted the role of Sr. Business Development Associate with Kinder Morgan Canada Terminals. At KMCT, Mr. Kuzyk expanded his expertise in financial modeling with a focus on midstream asset acquisitions, due diligence and business development.
In 2012, Mr. Kuzyk accepted the role of Senior Financial Lead in the Competitive Process group of the Alberta Electric System Operator, where he helped structure its first public-private-partnership for critical transmission infrastructure. Then after joining Keyera (TSX:KEY) in 2013 and working in Corporate Development on acquisitions and divestitures until late 2014, Nick worked as the company's Manager of Investor Relations until 2018.
From 2018 to 2020, Nick was the Chief Strategy Officer & SVP Capital Markets at High Tide Inc. (CSE:HITI), a leading cannabis retailer that he helped take public and grow through a series of financings and acquisitions. In mid-2020, Nick re-opened his consultancy (Meadowbank) to assist corporate clients in the core area of Investor Relations as well as Business Development, Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions, Strategy and more.
In his personal time, Mr. Kuzyk enjoys playing golf and his travels span 47 countries. In the community, he serves on the board of the Oneball Charitable Cancer Organization and is the Treasurer of the Alberta chapter of the Canadian Investor Relations Institute.
Interesting and thank you for posting - so Mr. Kuzyk has an impressive resume and his experience speaks volumes. My bet is he has a few tricks up his sleeve and certainly is not looking to add AGRA and FAILURE in the same sentence to his resume any time soon.
Again, my bet is they have something in the works which may include a merger or off-take agreement. Today`s volume at the very least shows a heart beat, while 5 million shares at 1 - 1.5 cents is chump change to some of the big wheels out there, it is still substantial and if one was to read between the lines - perhaps a steady stream of updates and NR`s are in the works to get this issue up off the floor and back into validity.
Either way, for the beleagured longs here - I would suggest that now is not the time to capitulate, what have you got to loose now - just maybe the turn around is in play. The pigs at the trough appear to have left the room, what ever may come of any investigations for past "percieved" wrong doings is yet to be seen. But for now I think it is safe to say a new day has been ushered in, perhaps a new vigor.
The market likes clarity, AGRA appears to be no longer rutterless.
I`m lucky enough to have built a fair sized position bottom feeding down here in the basement, sure I`ve looked in the mirror at times and questioned my approach, the risk and the possible outcome.
And I have to say I`m feeling a bit more optimistic about what that outcome may be - but again I say - I wear no rose colored glasses - this is risky business but the lure of exceptional gains keeps me here.
A great w/e to all and it will be quite intriguing to see what the next couple of weeks will bring around here.
New CEO - New beginning - Bring on the positive NR`s and it won`t be a case of watching this dog lie, rather watch this puppy fly.
